Roland D.VIa, Jasta 23b, Epinoy, France, 1918

by Paul Higgins on March 20, 2023 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

Hi, this is my latest completed model from the WnW range. The kit is a pleasure to build and is a really attractive subject for a model kit. The colour scheme was achieved by using enamel and oil paints, and lozenge pattern markings from [...]

And now for something completely different…

by Alfred van Paaschen on March 20, 2023 · in Automotive · 15 ≡

I wanted a model of my youngtimer 1991 BMW E30 cabrio, but could not find any kit. So I decided to disassemble a die cast model and gave it a paint job to resemble the color combination of my car. Think it turned out pretty well. What do [...]

Tamiya 1/48 Sea Harrier FRS.1

by Alistair Gauld on March 20, 2023 · in Aviation · 23 ≡

A build I thoroughly enjoyed. Everything that is reported regarding the fit of this kit is accurate but I was trying to stretch myself. Primed with Tamiya Neutral Grey. Painted with Colourcoats Dark Admiralty Grey, Barley Grey, Light [...]

PA-48 Enforcer

by gary sausmikat on March 20, 2023 · in Aviation · 36 ≡

Hi All, To me, the PA-48 Enforcer is probably one of THE coolest looking airplanes ever produced and when I saw one at the USAF Museum, I knew one day I needed to build a model of it. So, when Halberd Models, from the Ukraine, had a [...]

32 - 1/72 Italeri Autoblinda AB.43

by Anthony Ricco on March 20, 2023 · in Armor · 16 ≡

What a really nice kit. Really enjoyed this little one. A very interesting and cool looking subject. The AB.43 was used by the state police in Italy, and before they had sirens and police lights they needed to Stand out and have a visible [...]

Revell Iron Maiden Spitfire

by Lee V V on March 20, 2023 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

I couldn't resist building this one given the subject matter. The detail and fit of the model was excellent with minimal filler required. The Eddie figures are reasonably well detailed as well. I chose to display the model in flight over [...]

by Ruben A. Torres Borrego on March 19, 2023 · in Aviation · 21 ≡

Hello again. Before you my last project. I used the photoetched frets and the decals from the Profipack edition of the kit, changed the weapon cannons for the metal ones from Master and the Gunsight for a resin piece form Quickboost. I had [...]

Dora Wings Vultee P-66 Vanguard

by Bruce Archer on March 19, 2023 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

Hi All! First, let me say that the people at Dora Wings are getting kits out under the conditions that they are ( the War) impresses me greatly, so any grievances are really superficial and are to warn you of any pitfalls. I have ordered [...]

Seversky P-35

by Chas Bunch on March 19, 2023 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

Here's my latest build from Dora Wings, their P-35 in 1:48 scale. It's a nice, well detailed kit, much nicer than the Academy P-35A/J-9s I built years ago. I won't go into the history of the P-35, but if you're interested see Tom [...]

Hello again everyone. This is just a friendly reminder to let you know that our highly successful Korean War Group will come to a close in late July. This group followed the actual dates of the so called "Police Action", which [...]
